On the way this morning... Searing heat stops play at the Australian | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
Open. Manchester City batter Blackburn in the FA Cup. And we | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
bring you twin baby polar bears. This is Newsround. First, to the | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
severe heatwave that's been raging through Australia. Temperatures have | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
soared over 40 degrees Celsius again. And the extreme heat has | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
forced the organisers of the Australian Open Tennis in Melbourne | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
to stop the tournament. Players had been using ice packs in a desperate | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
bid to keep cool, but in the end the heat was too much. And all players | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
were told to finish their current sets and come off court. They are 11 | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
hours ahead, so it's just gone 6:30pm in the evening there. Play is | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
due to get started again in a couple of hours, in time for Andy Murray's | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
match later this morning. Number three seed Maria Sharapova battled | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
through three and a half hours of searing heat to win her match. Did | :01:07. | :01:18. | |
you think it was unsafe to play in those conditions? You are not | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
thinking about whether it was safe or not, you are trying to get | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
through the match in the best possible way. You are trying to make | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
it as safe as possible. The BBC's Jon Donnison is in Melbourne. He | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
sent this report a bit earlier on. Just coming up to midday and the | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
temperatures are already up around 40 degrees. We are told today it | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
could get to 44 Celsius. Behind me are a few kids playing in the | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Fountain. The fans are doing what they can to cool down. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
We have come out now to the outer courts. There are a couple of games | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
going on either side of me. If you look at the seating, it is | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
interesting. There are lots of empty seats. You wonder if it is too hot | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
for spectators to sit for any length of time. The thing you need here is | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
an umbra love. Here it is for the heat. For the players, this week, | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
they are not happy. They have been passing out on court, vomiting. A | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
number of players have simply dropped out. If they can, people are | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
trying to find shade. It is like a sauna. These two ladies probably | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
have the best leagues in the house, right in front of these, which are | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
pumping out cold, misty air. I, for now, I'm going to join them. | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
Absolute lists. Apple has agreed to give millions of pounds back to | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
parents in America, whose children ran up massive bills by making | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
in-app purchases. Some apps can be downloaded for free but then charge | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
you to continue in the game or buy things like lives, without you | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
realising or needing your parents' permission. The decision to refund | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
customers almost ?20 million in all, will only take place in the States. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Here, the company's almost always refunded parents who have complained | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
about massive bills from their kids gaming purchases. Apple will also | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
need to change things so you have to have permission before you make an | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
in-app purchase with your parents' permission. It was another | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
goal-packed night for Manchester City as they hammered Blackburn to | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
easily nail their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup. The | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
score was 5-0 at the Etihad. Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko each scored | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
twice. City have now scored 99 goals in all competitions, so far, this | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
season. It is a very good moment. It is very important for the team for | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Sergio to score. We have so many games in the future that we do not | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
have a problem with that. Next, to a proper pair of cuties. These twin | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
polar bear cubs were born just five weeks ago at a zoo in Germany. And | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
they have been caught on camera for the first time. Zoo keepers in | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
Munich haven't worked out yet if they're brothers or sisters. Both | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
cubs are being looked after very well by their mum, Giovanna. If you | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
get a bit of spare time with your mates today, then don't forget to | :04:35. | :04:37. | |

snowboarders in action ahead of the Winter Olympics. Find out the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
mystery of why birds fly in a V formation. And why Liam from 1D is | :04:46. | :05:00. | |
